Manu is called Vivasvan⁵ or Vaivasvata,⁶ ‘son of Vivasvant’ (the god); Sāvarṇi,⁶ ‘descendant of Savarṇā’ (the substitute of Saraṇyū in the legend of her wedding); and Sāmvaraṇi,⁷ ‘descendant of Saṃvaraṇa.’ The first name is, of course, mythical. The other two have been regarded as historical, Sāvarṇi being taken by Ludwig⁸ as a king of the Turvaśas, but this is very doubtful.
